paddim8··on Jellyfin 12.0
Their stance is actually that exposing it is fine
paddim8··on Firefox is now the last major browser that still supports uBlock Origin
One in every 50 people is a lot of people.
paddim8··on Self-host your mail server
$150 for 3 years for just email is not cheap in my opinion. Also, it says closer to $200 for me but maybe it's regional. Fastmail is not a cheap provider. iCloud, Purelymail, Migadu, etc. are cheap.

You can certainly rent a mail-capable VPS less. Especially if you send emails through the AWS mail service. A small home server capable of hosting mail will absolutely not use 80W. It will use <10w.

Fastmail is not cheap...
paddim8··on German AI consortium releases Soofi S, an open 30B model that tops benchmarks
District heating is the most normal thing ever....
paddim8··on OnePlus halts operations in USA and Europe
Finland is not one of the most broke countries in the EU...
paddim8··on OnePlus halts operations in USA and Europe
It is true. The OnePlus Nord are really good for the price
paddim8··on Linux 0.11 rewritten in idiomatic Rust, boots in QEMU
Well maybe they just did it for fun
paddim8··on Irish datacenters now guzzle 23% of the country's electricity
It's already dirt cheap in northern Sweden and northern Norway
paddim8··on G#: A modern .NET language with Go, Kotlin, and Swift ergonomics
.NET programs can be AOT compiled
paddim8··on Train sim created by just one person is being called the best ever made
Games with anticheat generally don't. Multiplayer games without anticheat generally so work.
paddim8··on Trial of 12mph bike lane speed limit grinds gears of Dutch cyclists
20 km/h is nothing. On a bike lane you should be allowed to go normal biking speed
paddim8··on GeoLibre 1.0
The website has way too low contrast
paddim8··on Changing how we develop Ladybird

paddim8··on Danish Pension Blacklists SpaceX over 'Catastrophic Governance'
Choosing to not invest in something is the complete opposite of virtue signaling... stop using words you don't know the meaning of
paddim8··on GTA 6 Developers Unionize
Volvo workers in Sweden are unionised
paddim8··on Canada to order military plane fleet from Sweden in shift from US suppliers
It can happen in Sweden too but it is less likely to. We don't have a president, we have a prime minister with limited power. We have a stronger democracy run by coalitions instead of a single party. One jackass is not enough in Sweden.
paddim8··on .NET (OK, C#) finally gets union types
I am all for minimalism but "If you come from one codebase to another codebase by a different team it’s close to learning a completely new language" I really don't agree. It's not that big. Just sounds like a skill issue
paddim8··on Haiku OS runs on M1 Macs now
What an entitled take.
paddim8··on Making Julia as Fast as C++ (2019)
What's the problem with the JIT runtime? Why is rapid iteration slower with JIT? Just-in-time compilation isn't inherently slower and is normally faster than AOT for dynamic languages and even static languages that have some dynamic features like dynamic dispatch
paddim8··on Blaise – A modern self-hosting zero-legacy Object Pascal compiler targeting QBE
Unfortunately the QBE code is really strange so if you need to make some changes yourself it probably won't be very fun
paddim8··on Show HN: Orange Juice – Small UX improvements that make HN easier to read
I think the minimalist design is good. But hasn't the font size decreased over time in practice? When HN was first created, the average monitor had a much lower resolution, which made text appear larger. Now I think it's quite difficult to read compared to other websites. Obviously it's easily solved by zooming, but I think it would make sense to adjust for the change in resolutions over the years
paddim8··on Floci – A free, open-source local AWS emulator
Azure does this and has amazing tooling for bringing it all together locally (Aspire)
paddim8··on Show HN: Sonar – A tiny CLI to see and kill whatever's running on localhost
Because it gives more context. Quite obvious if you look at the readme...
paddim8··on Helix: A post-modern text editor
It is not good for your wrists. Don't do that to yourself
paddim8··on Firefox 148 Launches with AI Kill Switch Feature and More Enhancements
The previous UI made no sense. Having the email viewer on the bottom and the list on the top instead of side by side makes absolutely no sense when most emails are designed for viewing in portrait.
paddim8··on The Holy Grail of Linux Binary Compatibility: Musl and Dlopen
Probably because your distro purposefully keeps software out of date because it is too fragile otherwise. I don't think that is reasonable at all for desktop use.
paddim8··on The Holy Grail of Linux Binary Compatibility: Musl and Dlopen
Yes. Premature optimisation when it comes to dynamic linking is the reason for why the year of the Linux desktop is far away in my opinion
paddim8··on The Holy Grail of Linux Binary Compatibility: Musl and Dlopen
Then you update those dependencies. Not very difficult with a package manager. And most dependencies aren't used by a ton of programs in a single system anyway. It is not a big deal in practice.
paddim8··on Linux is good now
That's why I don't think Ubuntu is a newbie distro. You never have to compile for source on arch-based distros. Obviously plain arch isn't fit for beginners, but I would argue that something like endeavouros or cachyos is easier to use than Ubuntu. If you want to install something, you just run one command, and then it is installed, 99.99% of the time.
